Assam Hathikuli Organic Tea

The Hathikuli Tea Estate cultivates noticeably pretty teas on one of the largest certified organic cultivation areas in the Assam Valley south of the River Bramaputhra. We have selected this Broken, because it convinced us with its very pretty, rough optic and its malty, slightly bread-like flavour. You will be delighted by its glowing copper colored cup with a strong and spicy scent.
